View Poll Results: Would you vote for someone not in the main stream of politics

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is back from his part-time home in Mexico and eagerly spreading the idea he could run for the U.S. presidency in 2016.

Hell NO! Why is this even a serious question/ first question about the 2016 race? There are much more qualified candidates on both sides of the aisle before even taking this guy seriously. Never for this fraud or any of the "third Party" options currently out there. You guys really need to do more research on these people. They are called fringe for a reason... The only way, I'd go off ticket, is if Jon Huntsman decided to run independent because he hasn't been to kind to the Republican Party as of late.

Re: Jesse Ventura in 2016

America will never vote for someone "competent" as a leader of a third party. Just the few comments here and the premise of the OP tells you that celebrity and the unusual is what titilates the average American's interest. Aren't you tired by now of idiotic incompetence in the Oval Office? Get real - you're country has big problems to solve.

What's next, Kim and Kanye on the Hollywood ticket?
